When adding vectors, their direction matters. Which property reflects this fact?
Associative property
Commutative property
Distributive property
None of the above
What is the identity element for vector addition?
The zero vector
A unit vector
The negative of a vector
The sum of the vectors
Vector addition is associative, which means that:
Vectors can only be added in a certain order.
The result of addition depends on the magnitudes of the vectors.
→ → → → → →
(A + B) + C = A + (B + C)
